lyn, i was thinking that, but we have been told where to eat by a guy who works with my husband who is polish, and we are going self catering too, maybe i should have a bit in reserve too, thanks....

Hi All
We are going at the end of March as well and we are looking forward to it so much just hope it warms up just a little bit

hope so i have just done a 10 day forcast andit ranges from -2 to 4c that take it up to 22 march,there is lost of cloud and snow in there hopfully it will be a tad warmer for us

Just take plenty of layers as it will be warm in the cafes and restaurants. Thinish vests, blouses and cardigans are best. Don't forget a waterproof coat, hat, scarf & gloves & a comfy pair of shoes. You might get lucky and it will be mild, but you'll be having such a good time you won't notice the cold.

this is going to be harder than packing for india...

I would just keep checking that forecast Adele . We went last February and had lovely weather . Clear sky and sun every day but the clear sky meant it was very cold of an evening . As soon as the sun went down you could feel the temps drop like a stone . I had 2 hats on walking around during the evening but I had to strip of at auchwitz .Being in an exposed location Everyone told us it would be really cold there so we wore our thermals and were sweating . The sun was out again

having said that my daughter went a couple of weeks before and had miserable weather and friends that went the week after us had snow .

As Helen says just take layers , I took t shirts , a couple of jumpers , Jeans , hats , scarves , gloves and pack some thermal long johns and socks if you have any just in case .

Adele - Ive been looking at a few sites as im going to Krakow next week & they all say different things !

I'll be taking my big coat & a few jumpers but im not too worried about the cold as ive been Prague / Cologne which were both freezing & its an excuse for the pub

Daft I know but the cold is different when you're in such a lovely place. Enjoy

Hi

I am off to Krakow with my husband on Saturday. We are staying in Zakopane for two nights then one night in Krakow at the Wentzle hotel. We have booked a trip to Auschwitz on Monday with Bobtaxi. We found him on Trip Adviser and he is supposed to be great, cant wait.

cant wait to here how you get on ,let us know please have a nice time

biffybear - I'll be very interested to hear about Zakopane - as that's the next place on my list.

been doing a 10 day forcast they have light snow at the moment,just holding bac i dont want to buy a coat if i dont need one,

Buy one out there Adele. They're very stylish.!

Anyone know what are the best taxis to use to get a transfer to the city centre from the airport ?

Many Thanks

Legs

We used these people Legs . found them recommended on the TA site and they were brilliant and at the time the best price http://www.krakowadvisor.com . We also used them for our trip to Auchwitz (around £50 as just a taxi service)and our return to the airport

leggs we are using the hotel taxi for 60plz each way it transfers to and from the airport that is up to 4 people...

Adele / Lyn - Thanks for the responses I think I may look into pre-booking just that i've had an experience where the taxi hasnt turned up before !!!!!!!!

Just back from Poland. Had a fabulous time. Spent two days in Zakopane, snow was amazing, locals say they haven't had snow like it for some time. Went up the funicular railway to the mountain, fabulous views from the top. Zakopane is so picturesque, horse drawn sleighs, twinkling lights at night, log cabins everwhere. Was quite surprised at just how big it is. Travelled down to Krakow for two nights. Stayed in the Wentzl hotel right on the square. Weather in Krakow was rainy, but had a good time. We went to Auschwitz on Monday, heartbreaking, but an experience I am glad we did not miss. We used Bobtaxi for our journeys. Bob picked us up in Zakopane and took us to Auschwitz then dropped us off at the hotel at night in Krakow. What a character Bob aka James Bond is. He is so knowledgeable about everything and took us to little places we would have missed otherwise. He is an excellent guide and knows all the little shortcuts. Poland is such good value for money we could not believe how cheap it was to eat and drink out. We will definately be back.

glad you ad a nice time biffybear, we go sunday, monday we plan to look around and visit the salt mine, tuesday is auschwitz and wednesday were of to the zoo..
where do you recomend to eat....
